* There is little locking or transaction control here; if you |
|
14 |
interrupt it the tree may be arbitrarily broken. This will be |
|
15 |
fixed. |

* Don't use this for critical data; at the very least keep separate |
|
18 |
regular snapshots of your tree.

This is mostly developed on Linux (Ubuntu); it should work on Unix,
|
|
25 |
Windows, or OS X with relatively little trouble.

The only dependency is Python, at least 2.3 and preferably 2.4. On
|
28 |
Windows, Python2.4 is required.

better notes on how to install |
36 |
The best way to install bzr is to symlink the ``bzr`` command onto a
|
37 |
directory on your path. For example::
|
|
38 |
||
39 |
ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzr ~/bin/bzr
|
|
40 |
||
41 |
If you use a symlink for this, Python will be able to automatically
|
|
42 |
find the bzr libraries. Otherwise you must ensure they are listed on
|
|
43 |
your $PYTHONPATH.

45 |
After installing, please run the test suite to identify any problems
|
46 |
on your platform::
|
|
47 |
||
48 |
./testbzr

If you use the setup.py script then bzr will be installed into the
|
51 |
specified path. In this case you must install ElementTree or
|
|
52 |
cElementTree separately.
